[Verse 1] I came in slow with a scar on my tongue Mud on my boots from where I was from You said, “Baby, talk plain” I said, “I been through the rain” (through the rain) My hands still shake when the night gets loud Heart like a drum in a faithful crowd You lean in close, I lean in hard We both got dents, we both got stars (we both got stars) [Pre-Chorus] Oh, I can feel it rise From the dirt to the sky No clean hands tonight Just a truth we carry [Chorus] Hold me, hold me, hold me now We rise out the hurt somehow Hold me, hold me, hold me now Say my name, don’t let me drown (hold me now) You pull, I pull We break that wall You call, I call And we stand tall [Verse 2] You got that gravel in your prayer I got a blaze burning under here When I say “stay,” you say “I’m there” When I lose ground, you lift me bare (you lift me bare) I taste the ash of a thousand fights Still I want joy with the darkest nights If I fall back, you pull me through If you go cold, I warm you too (I warm you too) [Pre-Chorus] Oh, I can feel it rise From the dirt to the sky No clean hands tonight Just a truth we carry [Chorus] Hold me, hold me, hold me now We rise out the hurt somehow Hold me, hold me, hold me now Say my name, don’t let me drown (hold me now) You pull, I pull We break that wall You call, I call And we stand tall [Bridge] [F] Hush now, my heart I’m still here [M] Bone-deep, stone-deep I hear you clear [F] If the road cuts long [M] We walk it through [F] If the tears come hard [M] I cry with you (cry with you) [Final Chorus] Hold me, hold me, hold me now We rise out the hurt somehow Hold me, hold me, hold me now Say my name, don’t let me drown (hold me now) You pull, I pull We break that wall You call, I call And we stand tall (stand tall)
